Our paper has been published in Physical Review Letters. Matsumoto, M.; Yagasaki, T.; Tanaka, H. Chiral Ordering in Supercooled Liquid Water and Amorphous Ice. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2015, 115 (19), 197801. DOI:10.1103/PhysRevE.91.016302 Research Highlights (Okayama University, Feb. 2016) Water expands when it is cooled below 4ºC, and it keeps expanding even below the melting point. This anomalous expansion accompanies the decrease of mobility, energy and entropy, ... [Detail]

Anomalous thermodynamic properties of ice XVI and metastable hydrates
Last update: January 12, 2022
A paper is published in Phys. Rev. B. T. Yagasaki, M. Matsumoto, and H. Tanaka, Phys. Rev. B 93, 054118 (2016). Water is known to be an "anomalous liquid", i.e., the solid state floats on the liquid state. It is also well known that water expands when it is cooled below 4°C. While, water has another interesting anomalous property, in which crystal ice also expands when it is deeply cooled below 55 K. In this research, we elucidated the mech ... [Detail]
